  • 10 Gbps data transfer for fast file moves

  • Connects USB-C devices to USB-A hosts only

USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter for device connections

This adapter connects a USB-C peripheral to a USB-A host port. It supports data transfer and power delivery for tablets, phones and external hard disks. The 180-degree U-shape keeps the cable close to the device. It is not suitable for video or audio signal transmission.

Thermals noise and power draw

The adapter draws power from the host USB-A port to operate and supply connected peripherals. Passive components produce no audible noise during normal use. Heat output remains low because the unit only handles USB 3.0 data and power without active circuitry.

Directional host-to-device limitation

The USB-C connector must attach to the peripheral and the USB-A connector to the host computer. Reversing this orientation will not function. The adapter cannot bridge USB-C video, audio or alternate-mode signals to a USB 3.0 port.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the 180° U-shape adapter so the USB-C side faces the device and the USB-A side faces the host?

Insert the USB-C plug into your tablet, phone or laptop and the USB-A plug into the host port; the fixed orientation only works this way round.

Will the USB-C reversible plug wear out or need replacement after repeated insertions?

The reversible Type-C connector is rated for standard mating cycles; no user-serviceable parts exist, so the whole adapter is replaced if the plug fails.

At what point does the 10Gbps data rate become the bottleneck during long transfers to an external hard disk?

Sustained throughput is limited by the USB 3.0/3.1 10Gbps signalling ceiling; real-world speed will plateau at that interface maximum.
